**[00:20] ---**
Maria! Maria, are you there?
**[00:27] ---**
Ms. Luida...
**[00:29] ---**
Here's some beef shank stew.
**[00:31] ---**
I accidentally made too much.
**[00:33] ---**
I do hope you'll have some.
**[00:35] ---**
But where did these all come from?
**[00:47] ---**
That's a baby's rattle!
**[00:50] ---**
Who could have given them to you?
**[01:06] ---**
Finny, carry this stuff!
**[01:08] ---**
Sure!
**[01:09] ---**
Let's see... The young
master's underclothes...
**[01:12] ---**
Tanaka.
**[01:14] ---**
How is it coming along?
**[01:16] ---**
My lord, it's all been carried
out according to your orders.
**[01:20] ---**
Young master,
**[01:22] ---**
I've reserved our lodgings.
**[01:26] ---**
I see.
**[01:31] ---**
I say, young master, where
are you going on this trip?
**[01:36] ---**
You've been packing all this
time without even knowing that?!
**[01:41] ---**
Paris.
**[01:52] ---**

"His Butler, Dissolution"
**[03:22] ---**
Her Majesty arrived in Paris three days ago,
**[03:25] ---**
and should be viewing the Exposition now.
**[03:29] ---**
I'm sure the hotel will
be heavily guarded, so...
**[03:34] ---**
Young master?
**[03:37] ---**
What?
**[03:38] ---**
Your mind is somewhere else, isn't it?
**[03:42] ---**
Lau said the Queen was "trying to
plunge Europe--
**[03:46] ---**
no, the *world*-- into war."
**[03:50] ---**
Is that why you desire an audience with her?
**[03:53] ---**
No.
**[03:55] ---**
Was your heart moved by
Abberline's death, then?
**[04:00] ---**
No. This is because they were all my pawns.
**[04:04] ---**
Keep your distance from
me, or you'll get killed.
**[04:08] ---**
But that pawn ignored my orders
**[04:12] ---**
and just kept sticking his nose in.
**[04:14] ---**
The same goes for Lau.
**[04:17] ---**
Without a grasp of your pawns' motives
and strategies, you can't play the game.
**[04:22] ---**
That's all.
**[04:29] ---**
The Champ de Mars is home
to the Palace of Fine Arts
**[04:32] ---**
and a crowd of national pavilions,
**[04:34] ---**
with the Eiffel Tower designated
as the Exposition entranceway.
**[04:38] ---**
There's the Machinery Hall,
a mammoth work of iron and glass
**[04:40] ---**
representing the pinnacle
of modern technology.
**[04:44] ---**
At the Trocadéro Palace is
a horticultural exhibition.
**[04:47] ---**
At the secondary site, the Esplanade
des Invalides, there's a colonial exhibition.
**[04:52] ---**
It features a reproduction
of the ruins at Angkor,
**[04:55] ---**
folk dancing, and a Negro village.
**[05:00] ---**
For something a bit different,
**[05:02] ---**
I understand Buffalo Bill's Wild
West Show is here from the States.
**[05:09] ---**
We don't see an Expo every day, my lord.
**[05:11] ---**
Shall we look around a bit more?
**[05:14] ---**
It should give you ideas for new products.
**[05:17] ---**
Are you sure?
**[05:18] ---**
Yes, they say there's a stuffed
angel at the Palace of Wonders!
**[05:22] ---**
Now that I must see!
**[05:24] ---**
A stuffed angel?
**[05:32] ---**
What, it's just a monkey?
**[05:34] ---**
What a bore.
**[05:35] ---**
Let's be on our way.
**[05:47] ---**
What is this?!
**[05:52] ---**
This is--
**[05:53] ---**
Calm yourself, young master.
**[05:55] ---**
But...
**[05:56] ---**
You've lived in the darkness.
**[05:59] ---**
A little dimness shouldn't
put you out in the least.
**[06:04] ---**
Please, evacuate and leave this place to me.
**[06:12] ---**
*It's no hardship to run through the darkness.*
**[06:17] ---**
*My soul has been running
through the darkness all this time.*
**[06:22] ---**
Ciel...
**[06:23] ---**
Ciel...
**[06:25] ---**
*Ever since that day...*
**[06:29] ---**
*I've been running in the dark... the dark...*
**[06:47] ---**
*It's so bright.*
**[06:49] ---**
*Is this really my world?*
**[07:23] ---**
Goodness gracious, you're in a hurry.
**[07:30] ---**
You're...!
**[07:31] ---**
Ciel.
**[07:33] ---**
It's been a long time.
**[07:35] ---**
Your Majesty!
**[07:50] ---**
Look at the view from up here.
**[07:54] ---**
As she faces the next century,
**[07:56] ---**
Europe is on the verge of change.
**[07:59] ---**
However...
**[08:01] ---**
There's a stain over there.
**[08:05] ---**
There's stagnation over there.
**[08:09] ---**
There's uncleanliness right here.
**[08:12] ---**
The entire slate must be wiped clean.
**[08:17] ---**
There can be no creation without destruction.
**[08:20] ---**
In order for the new century to be pure,
**[08:23] ---**
I cleansed the house that has taken
on all that is negative in our nation:
**[08:28] ---**
the house of Phantomhive.
**[08:40] ---**
Such poor taste.
**[08:49] ---**
This is...
**[08:53] ---**
♪ London Bridge is falling down,
falling down, falling down. ♪
**[09:00] ---**
--♪ London Bridge is falling
down, my fair lady. ♪
**[09:01] ---**
--*She's here*.
**[09:04] ---**
--*The one I searched for...!*
**[09:15] ---**
Might I ask you something?
**[09:18] ---**
What is it?
**[09:19] ---**
You didn't just kill them;
you made it beastly. Why?
**[09:24] ---**
Mind your language, Ciel.
**[09:28] ---**
I *cleansed* them.
**[09:29] ---**
That's what you call "cleansing"?
Demeaning the dead?!
**[09:33] ---**
Demeaning?
**[09:35] ---**
That's right!
**[09:36] ---**
Demeaning...?
**[09:38] ---**
I merely wanted to pay what
tribute I could to the Phantomhives
**[09:44] ---**
after they showed me such loyalty...
**[09:46] ---**
What?!
**[10:00] ---**
Surprised? She's all but
aglow with youth, isn't she?
**[10:05] ---**
Ash!
**[10:08] ---**
The loss of her beloved husband
**[10:12] ---**
ended Her Majesty's days of happiness.
**[10:15] ---**
In her grief over his death,
**[10:18] ---**
she once tried to end her own life.
**[10:28] ---**
I joined his body with her own,
**[10:34] ---**
so that she might live with
the man she loved forever.
**[10:41] ---**
His body...?
**[10:43] ---**
I can tell that my husband
is pleased with my work.
**[10:49] ---**
His body twinges inside me.
**[10:54] ---**
Twinge... twinge...
**[10:57] ---**
It's the throbbing of life.
**[10:59] ---**
The joy of truly becoming
one with the one you love...
**[11:04] ---**
I felt that if I gave the
Phantomhives that same joy,
**[11:08] ---**
it would not be a ghastly death at all.
**[11:15] ---**
The Queen and her husband firmly intend
**[11:19] ---**
to guide England to a world of perfect light.
**[11:21] ---**
That aim has purged them
of their own impurities,
**[11:25] ---**
transforming Her Majesty
**[11:29] ---**
into the chaste girl you see before you.
**[11:33] ---**
What a lofty aim!
**[11:36] ---**
She is a worthy master for an angel.
**[11:38] ---**
Angel? Don't tell me you're--
**[11:41] ---**
Ash, at least let Ciel fall to your blade.
**[11:48] ---**
Ash's blade is a thing of beauty.
**[11:52] ---**
It goes forth as the brightness
of the new century.
**[11:56] ---**
I shall draw my sword
against the beauty of thy wisdom,
**[11:59] ---**
and I shall punish the beast within thee.
**[12:02] ---**
I shall bring thee down to the pit.
**[12:06] ---**
May an immaculate heaven greet thee,
**[12:10] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive.
**[12:20] ---**
Your precious sword is
meaningless if you can't land a blow.
**[12:26] ---**
This may be the end, my young master.
**[12:31] ---**
Your orders?
**[12:36] ---**
Ciel...
**[12:38] ---**
Kill Ash.
**[12:42] ---**
Will that be all, my lord?
**[12:46] ---**
Kill the Queen!
**[12:49] ---**
Ciel!
**[12:50] ---**
Very good.
**[13:03] ---**
How dreadful!
**[13:04] ---**
Ciel, please, stop him!
**[13:07] ---**
Ciel!
**[13:13] ---**
--What's that?
**[13:14] ---**
--Watch out!
**[13:14] ---**
--Run!
**[13:20] ---**
Sebastian, stop!
**[13:23] ---**
Why?
**[13:24] ---**
We've attracted attention.
**[13:26] ---**
At this rate, the commotion
will only get bigger.
**[13:29] ---**
Why should we bother about them, my lord?
**[13:32] ---**
They're only humans.
**[13:34] ---**
No! We're withdrawing!
**[13:43] ---**
Angel wings...
**[14:11] ---**
Why did you stop me?
**[14:14] ---**
I told you: we would have
attracted too much attention. That's all.
**[14:19] ---**
I see.
**[14:21] ---**
What are you trying to say?!
**[14:23] ---**
You told me that what you wanted
**[14:25] ---**
was vengeance against the
ones who dragged you into hell.
**[14:30] ---**
Did the vow you swore that day mean nothing?
**[14:35] ---**
You have summoned me here.
**[14:38] ---**
That can never be changed, and
nothing sacrificed can be regained.
**[14:45] ---**
Now choose.
**[14:47] ---**
This is an order.
**[14:54] ---**
Kill them!
**[15:00] ---**
I will become your sword,
and carry out your revenge.
**[15:04] ---**
In exchange...
**[15:06] ---**
If you want my soul, you're welcome to it.
**[15:10] ---**
You have no doubts?
**[15:12] ---**
Don't be tedious!
**[15:15] ---**
I thought you had no doubts that day.
**[15:20] ---**
Will you still swear loyalty to the Queen,
even after learning the truth?
**[15:25] ---**
I never felt any loyalty
to her to begin with.
**[15:28] ---**
I just acted as the head of the Phantomhives.
**[15:33] ---**
You've decided you value your soul, then?
**[15:36] ---**
What would I want with my *soul*?!
**[15:38] ---**
You're being tedious. What do you--
**[15:47] ---**
You seem tired, my lord.
**[15:49] ---**
Please, return to the hotel and rest.
**[15:56] ---**
What a foul capital.
**[16:03] ---**
Ever since that day, even buttoning
my shirts has been your duty.
**[16:08] ---**
I didn't think a demon
could ever play a butler,
**[16:12] ---**
but you carried it off splendidly.
**[16:15] ---**
A Phantomhive butler who
can't do this much...
**[16:20] ---**
That's enough talk for tonight.
**[16:22] ---**
You should go to sleep, young master.
**[16:31] ---**
Forget everything and have pleasant dreams.
**[16:52] ---**
Ciel. Ciel.
**[16:57] ---**
You have a chance to get a
future for yourself again.
**[17:03] ---**
To get...?
**[17:08] ---**
Give up your title of "Queen's guard dog,"
**[17:11] ---**
give up the hatred you've
held for so long...
**[17:14] ---**
and get it back...
**[17:24] ---**
Sebastian...?
**[17:28] ---**
Sebastian!
**[17:29] ---**
Sebastian, where are you?
Where is the morning...
**[17:31] ---**
Can't you hear me?
**[17:41] ---**
Sebastian!
**[17:43] ---**
I'm Phantomhive. Room 702.
**[17:46] ---**
Do you know where my man went?
**[17:48] ---**
One moment please, my lord.
**[18:01] ---**
*The mark wasn't gone.*
**[18:04] ---**
*But...*
**[18:05] ---**
*Forget everything and have pleasant dreams.*
**[18:10] ---**
*He would never wish for my pleasure.*
**[18:14] ---**
*And "forget everything"?*
**[18:18] ---**
*That was... a farewell.*
**[18:24] ---**
I can certainly get back to London on my own.
**[18:33] ---**
Take me to the Port of Calais.
**[18:36] ---**
Excuse me? Is that any
way to ask a favor, kid?
**[18:42] ---**
How much do you want?
**[18:54] ---**
Here we are.
**[18:55] ---**
What? I said the Port of Calais!
**[18:58] ---**
Sorry, but I live in the opposite direction.
**[19:02] ---**
--Down you go...
**[19:03] ---**
--Let me down!
**[19:05] ---**
You should eventually hit
the Port of Boulogne-sur-Mer
**[19:09] ---**
if you go that way and make a few turns.
**[19:13] ---**
Get back here and do what I
paid you for, you bounder!
**[19:48] ---**
A room for the night.
**[19:50] ---**
How will you pay?
**[19:52] ---**
I can't right now, but I'll send
you the money from London later.
**[19:59] ---**
Don't get fresh with me!
**[20:01] ---**
Just who do you think I am?!
**[20:02] ---**
I'm Ciel Phantomhive!
Everyone knows that name!
**[20:06] ---**
Haven't you ever heard
of the Funtom Company?!
**[20:09] ---**
Look at this ring!
**[20:10] ---**
The family heads have passed
it down for generations!
**[20:13] ---**
You can pay with that, then.
**[20:16] ---**
I'll put you up here in
exchange for the ring.
**[20:19] ---**
That gem's not bad.
**[20:21] ---**
Shall I throw in breakfast, too?
**[20:23] ---**
What?!
**[20:27] ---**
You've got a lot of gall for
someone who runs a fleabag hotel!
**[20:40] ---**
I'm hungry.
**[20:46] ---**
It's cold. Come here.
**[20:55] ---**
Now even *you're* trying to make a fool of me?!
**[20:59] ---**
Stop!
**[21:10] ---**
I was this close to the port...?
**[21:15] ---**
*But I wandered everywhere,*
**[21:20] ---**
*unable to find it.*
**[21:23] ---**
*When it was right here all along...*
**[22:00] ---**
--Oh no, no!
**[22:02] ---**
--Water! Water! Water! Get some water!
**[22:04] ---**
Right!
**[22:49] ---**
*Kurayami no naka de

*The cry of a soulless beast echoes
through the burning streets of London.*
**[24:08] ---**
*And I no longer have a master.*
**[24:11] ---**
*Would you by any chance
like to sign a contract with me?*
**[24:16] ---**
*Don't worry; it will only hurt for a moment.*
**[24:19] ---**
*I shall humbly plunge you*
**[24:21] ---**
*into a deep, fathomless, soothing darkness.*
**[24:25] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Up in Flames."*
**[24:26] ---**
"Next Time" "His Butler, Up in Flames"
**[24:29] ---**
*You see, I am merely one hell... of a demon.*
